Chapter 112
relationship(2)
“Heh, heh… … . Now wait-. It’s Yura… … , Isn’t that a bit strange?”
Choi Gyu-ri was the first to feel the strangeness.
The reason why he ran after her from behind was that he had no time to worry about anything else because he had only thought that he had to shut Choi Gyu-ri’s mouth right away.
I stopped my frantic run upwards and looked back to see Lee Yu-ra, who was on her knees with both hands on her knees, just a few steps down, gasping for breath just like Gyu-ri Choi.
“Write… … . under… … . What?”
In response to Lee Yoo-ra’s answer, who leaned back and took a deep breath, Choi Gyu-ri took a deep breath and continued.
“we… … , What floor are you up now?”
“… … yes?”
A question suddenly appeared on Lee Yu-ra’s reddened face.
“No, do you remember how high we are now? It seems like the 10th floor has been a while… … .”
“… … .”
The two of them’s eyes simultaneously returned to the floor number in the center of the stairway.
-3F
I didn’t even have to say anything more.
After checking, the two hurriedly climbed the rest of the stairs, kicked open the door, and went inside.
The hallway of a familiar building comes into view.
I kicked in the nearest door and went inside the office.
The position of the window half-open only in the center. An empty chair between the long rows of office desks, as if a tooth had been knocked out.
The two faces, which had been flushed red, began to turn pale in an instant.
“I guess this… … . Is this the room you already checked?”
“… … Yes, this is the room I already checked.”
the opposite room.
Even the next room.
It is a room that has already been checked.
Choi Gyu-ri came out into the hallway and looked down because something was bothering her feet.
At the tip of my toe, a stone the size of my thumb, which I had apparently kicked earlier, came into my field of vision.
“what’s this… … .”
As she kicked the stone again, she saw a CCTV with a red light flickering in one corner of the ceiling of the last office she came out of.
Seeing that, the checklist in Lee Yoo-ra’s hand fell to the floor, and Choi Gyu-ri, who was staring blankly at the light, collapsed onto the floor.
“I think we are trapped… … . ah-! yes call! Yura, call the kids quickly!”
“Ah, I get it.”
Lee Yu-ra, who saw the flickering red dot, hurriedly put her hand in the back pocket of her pants.
Lee Yoo-ra’s hand shaking subtly as she took out her smartphone was reflected in Choi Gyu-ri’s eyes.
“This, this, this… … .”
Lee Yu-ra urgently searched for the number and soon found the contact she wanted and pressed the call button without hesitation.
Standing next to him, Choi Gyu-ri pulled out the sword he was wearing on his back and was ready to project magic at any time.
Even for the reason that the call volume was changed to a speaker, the smartphone was placed on a small desk located on one side of the hallway, and the moon sword was pulled out and attached to the folded window.
after a while
-uh. Yura, why?
“Connected! Connected!”
I saw Gyuri Choi, whom I like, clapping my hands like a child.
Seeing her like that, he let out a sigh and loosened his grip on the spear stick, which was tightly gripped with sweat.
-hello? Is it Yura?
“Ah yes. I have it.”
“Hero, are you okay?”
-Are you okay? What’s going on?
Hearing Lee Young-woong’s voice as if nothing was wrong, Choi Gyu-ri raised his voice and replied.
“Aren’t you trapped?!”
– Are you locked up? What are you talking about earlier?
“Whew… … I’m glad.”
“Can you come to the third floor now? It’s kind of urgent.”
-… … It’s not difficult to go. Do you see any problems?
“yes… … , I think Gyu-ri and I fell under some unknown barrier. From a while ago, it just kept hovering around the same floor.”
-A barrier, a barrier… … .
“Oh-. Because you never know when you come. Please come with Seunghyuk and Kyu-tae.”
-ah… … Seunghyuk and Gyutae? I’m a bit far away wait for a sec?
I couldn’t hear his voice for a while, and then the call resumed with a ‘click’ sound.
– I can’t find Seunghyuk and Gyutae even if I look for them now. First of all, it just seems urgent, so I’ll go down first. wait a bit
“… … yes? Yes, got it. Then please come as soon as possible.”
“Hero, come quickly!”
The call ended there.
Contrary to Choi Gyu-ri, who puts the sword in her hand back into the scabbard, Lee Yu-ra did not put the moon sword in.
Instead, he glanced at Choi Gyu-ri.
“… … Is it Yura? what’s the matter?”
“no. Do you remember what I confessed to Hero in the past?”
“I remember when I said it in elementary school. ‘I think Hero hates me because I’m fat~.’ while saying something like that Is that when you started exercising? Why is that all of a sudden?”
“… … no. It’s real.”
“really?”
“Just pretend you didn’t hear, and erase what I just asked from your memory. Because I don’t even want to think about it now.”
Lee Yoo-ra let out a deep sigh and frowned.
How long have you two been chatting?
“Is it Yura? Are you Gyuri? Here it is-?!”
I heard Lee Young-woong’s voice spreading along the corridor.
“yes! Here you are!”
“Hero! This way!”
I began to see Lee Young-woong from across the hallway.
Lee Yu-ra ran towards him with a sword instead of a bow, and when he got closer, she opened her arms and tried to hug him.
“… … uh? Yura, what happened?”
Seeing Lee Yoo-ra approaching with her arms wide open, Lee Young-woong responded with open arms while questioning.
the moment the two meet.
In an instant, Lee Yoo-ra’s right hand fist was clenched, and it was shot at Lee Young-woong’s face like a comb.
* * *
that time.
“Sun? Is this right?”
“Oh, that’s right… … .”
When I arrived at the Namjin Building with my teammates, I opened my eyes wide, dumbfounded.
Originally, a 10-story building should be here… … .
No matter how much I look around with my teammates, all that remains is a long stretched restraining tape, and it has disappeared without any trace.
No matter how busy it is, the atmosphere in the neighborhood isn’t good lately, and it’s time to run at the end of the evening, so there’s no one to ask around.
“… … Shall we go in first?”
“Yes, sun. That looks good.”
When I stepped into the clearing, I was able to enter without incident.
However, the unexpected problem was that the moment Chevalier was about to enter the clearing, her armor sparked.
“Uh, huh?”
-phut!!!
It bounced off due to the tremendous repulsive force.
Watching Chevalier flying far away and rolling on the floor, I had a hunch that something had happened here.
“Lee! are you okay?!”
Looking at Anya who was taking care of Chevalier, she filled her hands with magic power and stretched them out into the air.
Something squirming came into my hand.
Without hesitation, I pushed my hand deeper into it.
* * *
Quick-!
Lee Young-woong, who was smiling brightly and spreading his arms, was hit by Lee Yu-ra’s fist and flew towards the wall.
‘Wow!’ He collided with a cabinet mounted on the wall and fell down along with it, and he fell completely down.
“Yura?!”
“what are you doing?! Don’t pull out your sword right now!”
When Choi Gyu-ri, who saw the scene, jumped in surprise, Lee Yu-ra raised her wide open hand to block her from approaching, and Lee Yu-ra, holding the spearstick with both hands, quietly stepped back.
“Why the hell are you doing this!?”
“You still haven’t noticed?!”
Shouting at Choi Gyu-ri with all her might, she aimed her sword at the fallen Lee Young-woong.
“That… … . I am not a hero.”
Choi Gyu-ri, whose expression hardened in an instant, immediately brought his hand to his back and pulled out his sword.
Her sword was bizarre.
It is the same as a standard longsword with a length of just over 1 m. However, the overall shape of the sword was square, and the width of the blade was four times wider than that of an ordinary longsword.
Choi Gyu-ri, who grabbed the handle of the sword with both hands, swallowed dry saliva and looked at Lee Yoo-ra and Lee Young-woong in turns.
That moment.
‘Kikiiik.’ The overturned cabinet shakes, and I hear the sound of rusty hinges turning. And where the sound came from, Lee Young-woong was awake.
“Hey, it hurts a little-. Yura, what’s wrong?”
He obviously hit him with all his might, but his face is clean and unscathed.
On the other hand, the part of her right fist is burning red.
Shaking his head left and right, he smiled brightly, as if asking what had happened.
“It’s me, me. It’s Lee Young-woong.”
“… … I don’t know who you are, but please identify yourself!”
“hmm… … .”
“If you thought that you could be fooled with just such poor acting, you are mistaken.”
Lee Young-woong, no, something imitating Lee Young-woong stroked his chin while looking at Lee Yu-ra, who spoke firmly.
“Where the hell did you get it?”
“CCTV, at first I inadvertently went over it. However, all electricity and water were cut off in this building. It is in a state where there can be no working electronics.”
“Only with that?”
“If only that was it, I wouldn’t have doubted it.”
Dark brown magical light began to rise on the sword raised toward Lee Young-woong.
“He doesn’t use honorific titles like Mr. Gyu-tae for Lee Kyu-tae, a member of his family and a classmate he’s seen for a long time. Moreover, in this situation, they do not move alone until they revise the request to come together.”
The sharpened blade of the sword of the moon shines a cool light at him.
“And the moment I hit, it wouldn’t have been so easy to hit.”
“I didn’t know that.”
Seeing Lee Yoo-ra’s raised eyes, he smiled as he wore Lee Young-woong’s mask.
“You picked the wrong opponent. If I had chosen Seung-hyeok instead, I might have been fooled.”
“okay? hmm… … , The preparation was a bit disappointing. Geumtaeyang who called for the first time? At that time, I thought I was fooled and stupid.”
“… … He’s a guy who doesn’t know where he’ll go.”
“I thought it was perfect, but just looking at it for a moment is not enough? I should have chosen the original well, too.”
Choi Gyu-ri, who grasped the situation, also joined Lee Yu-ra and infused magic into her monster sword.
Then, the sword that absorbed the deep blue mana began to change.
A line appears on the left and right sides of the wide blade.
The ratio split by the line is exactly 1:2:1.
The left and right sword blades soared upwards like wings spreading, then merged as if they were connected to the end of the sword body located in the middle.
The Great Sword became the Great Sword.
“Hey, is it a mysterious sword? Did you spend some money?”
“Isn’t it a sword made for guys like you to see?”
Even while watching the two of them in full combat readiness, he was relaxed wearing the mask of Lee Young-woong.
Shaking his head from side to side, he loosened his body, smiled and put his hand toward the sword belt.
Placing his hand on his waist, he first pulled the thin chain connected to the sword belt, and the smartphone was slowly pulled out of his pocket, shaking briefly at his waist.
I was comforting myself with the reason.
I don’t know what kind of ability it is, but people with special abilities like that usually have weak physical abilities.
“I will ask again, … … What are you?”
“me? Do you need to know that?”
This time he put his hand over the hilt of his sword.
-Surereung.
The sword is pulled out with a clear metal sound.
Choi Gyuri, who heard the sound, frowned as if she was displeased.
“If you don’t tell me, I have no choice but to force you to do so.”
After a short talk, he ran towards someone in the shape of Lee Young-woong with a great sword that emits blue light.
At that moment, I saw Lee Yu-ra.
As Choi Gyuri’s reflection in his pupil grew larger, the corners of his mouth rose.
Goosebumps and goosebumps ran down his spine.
However, there was no time for her to stop, and Choi Gyu-ri was already wielding a greatsword full of magic.
